The sad part is that I would really like to help support local businesses, but I feel like its not a fair price. Then they guy tried to scare me into paying more for the same part because I may have a problem if I buy it on-line.
Anyone know the "book time" on this job?
How much would be considered fair?

Because paying him more for the exact same part with somehow magically avoid this unspecified potential problem? Gotta love these guys. He has to charge more for the springs because he has to go through a distributor and doesn't have the volume to get good wholesale pricing. Get quotes from a few other places and see if you have any buddies up for the job.
